When we pulled up, we were in absolute awe of this location. Very majestic on a hill top over looking the endless fields for miles and miles. Out of all the hotels we stayed at in Italy, this is one we treasured the most. The ancient walls with a modern convenience were more than we expected. Some reviewers mentioned the dinning being pricy but you truly get what you pay for. Dinner was impeccable with an amazing view so it was very much with it. Book this place, you won’t regret it.
United States of Americathe property itself is absolutely stunning.. amazing location, short drive from Montalcino. The staff are top notch, exactly what you would expect from a luxury resort.
United States of AmericaBreakfast buffet was very good. Pools were very nice. Furniture and bedding very old, needs updating
United States of AmericaThe setting the wonderful staff the food and wine everything made for a wonderful stay
United States of AmericaWe were greeted by several staff members, who offered us a welcome drink, and showed us around the property. All of the staff was super helpful and friendly. The views around the property are second to none, and we had an Aperitivo outside, where the waiter never let our glasses get dry of wine. All guests are allowed access to the two amazing pools outside. They are heated and one is deeper, for swimming, while the other is more like a hot tub. There is a bar at the pool and they will bring you food and drinks poolside. We really enjoyed the pools, and wish we had more time to do the full indoor spa experience as well. We later had dinner at the restaurant and it was an amazing experience. There were several interesting courses, and table side prepared options, which was very unique!
United States of AmericaEverything is AMAZING!! You must go!! My sons and I wished we could have stayed longer but will definitely go back!!!
United States of AmericaThis property is wonderful! We were greeted with a prosecco and hot towels to wash our hands and face after a long car journey. Most wonderful wine tasting and tour of the vineyard by Manuela, a master sommelier who shared her passion and her interesting story about becoming a Master. Amazing views from the thermal pool while watching the sunset and sipping a fine Brunello. Lovely breakfast.
United States of AmericaI loved everything about this resort. The pools are amazing and the views are spectacular! The staff is unbelievably attentive and very nice!
United States of AmericaFabolous location nested over a perfect position that dominates Val D'Orcia surroundings. The staff was super kind and accomplished all the requests we had. Rooms are quiet, charming, and modern with a lovely art sense. Olispa is a perfect mix of essential and luxury aligned with the uncontaminated nature of the area. It is definitely a great choice for a romantic and relaxing getaway.
ItalyBeautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting! The hotel is located in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by beautiful hills and vineyards. Super quiet room. Comfortable bed and clean sheets.
